    It’s rare for me to find merch worth buying, I prefer buying the music.

      Maybe buying it directly from their website might be the better option in this case? 🤔

        It’s about the effort artists make for merch, I don’t want to buy a t-shirt with a simplistic design or just a sentence on it
